Shoot a dream in your arm and sleep awayIt's not the stuff that kills you, that keeps your life at bayEvery crash pulls you in reachOf a watershed of signal flares that cover your beach

These are just placebos to make us feel all rightIllusions in our pockets make our feather float us highFor a second I thought I saw you eyelids riseFor a moment something restless caught you by surprise,Surprise, surprise

We are so beautiful when we sleep Hearts of gold and eyes so deep, deep, deepBut love won't cure the chaos And hope won't hide the loss And peace is not the heroine that shouts above the cause And love is wild for reasons And hope though short in sight Might be the only thing that wakes you by surpriseSurprise, surprise

Dream little oneSee the world just begun

Love is wild for reasons And hope feels short in sight Might be the only thing that brings you back to lifeFor a moment I thought I saw your eyelids rise...
